SPANISH FOOTBALL - LA LIGA 2008/09 - ROUND 13 SUNDAY GAMES RESULTS

Great game between VALENCIA CF & the inform REAL BETIS
which finished 3-2 in favour of the former which puts them 3ºrd in the
classification table.
























Valencia dominated the 1ºst half with goals from VILLA in the 10th
min & then MATA in the 20th, whiched prized their total control. However,
Betis is a good side & the over confidence of Valencia in the 2ºhalf saw
Betis exploit spaces & make a grand comeback starting with goals from
JUANMA in the 56th min & EMANA via a penalty in the 64th min.

That penalty caused a red card for Marchena leaving Valencia with 10

men with Real Betis running riot. But Valencia recomposed themselves &
managed the winner thanks to BARAJAS ( above) scoring a header in the
73rd min. Close call !


















MALAGA continue their good play & call for respect as they brushed
aside OSASUNA in a high scoring 4-2 result. It all happened in 2ºnd half
with goals from Malaga via APOÑO ( above) & BAHA, but Osasuna pulled

both back via NEKOUNAM & FLAÑO. Then Malaga pulled something
extra out of the hat to score two more goals thanks to LUQUE & ELISEU
to clinch the game & the points


















VILLAREAL secured their 2ºnd place on the classification table with
it´s 1-2 win against RECREATIVO. The Villareal scorers CARZOLA &
IBAGAZA ( above) put their team into the driving position, with a

late attempt which was´nt enough by Recreativo player ADRIAN who
scored Recreativo´s only goal.
















REAL SPORTING maintain their good run with a worked victory
away to ESPANYOL 0-1. The winner came from CARMELO
(above) in the 29th min. Disappointing for Espanyol who´s Coach
"Tintin" is on the fineline & maybe replaced. Stay tuned!


















DEPORTIVO started the season poorly but they are now hoovering
Uefa Cup positions with very good play. Today they continued to
maintain that excellent line with a win over ALMERIA thanks to the

solitary goal from VERDU (seen above). Final result 0-1

















VALLADOLID is having an irregular season, but tonight they managed
to put it together over another irregular team as is MALLORCA.
Valladolid scored three goals - via CALVO, DORADO & GOITOM - to

overrun the opposition & secure the valuable three points. Final score
3-0



















FERNANDO LLORENTE ( above) is having a fine season with his
team ATHLETIC DE BILBAO. His good form has earned him a
call up to the Spanish National team & he showed us why with

his teams two goals to give his team a 2-0 victory over NUMANCIA


















Important game for ATLETICO DE MADRID who found that with
Deportivo´s win tonight , the latter had taken their 6th table spot
& Uefa Cup position. Plus they needed to win as the teams behind them
are close on points & a loss would have pushed them down the ladder.
Atletico had its star forward line up & they did ´nt disappoint with a
4-1 victory over
RACING DE SANTANDER.

Racing started well with a penalty given in the 7th min to TCHITE who
scored, but that would be Santander´s only goal. From here onward
Atletico found its play & began to move the ball around with efficiency.
Atletico equalized via SIMAO in the 20th min from a great Forlan pass,
then AGUERO got back on the scoring sheet after a dry month to put
Atletico ahead in the 33rd min.

















The 2ºnd half was the DIEGO FORLAN show who was MVP & scored
two great goals - in the 77th min & 80th min - to seal his teams victory
& take his goal season tally to 8º goals.

Great win , Atletico needs to maintain this winning form to keep out a
series of teams who are breathing down their neck.
